Dear
Residents,
The
end of the year represents a joyous time to celebrate
the Holiday Season with family and friends. It is
a special time that evokes memories of days gone by.
I have a similar feeling in my heart because I will
be leaving office as Mayor of Parma after having the
privilege to serve you for the past eight years. We’ve
come a long way, to say the least, and I foresee nothing
but good things ahead for our great city.
It is a busy and exciting time of year in our great
city! Numerous infrastructure projects are well underway
or have been completed. New facilities are being planned,
are under construction or have been completed. The
business of running Ohio’s 7th largest city is in full
swing.
This year, the multi million dollar Sprague Road reconstruction
project was completed and the Stumph and Broadview
Roads resurfacing projects are well underway. In addition,
dozens of smaller resurfacing project were completed.
Also, our administration has been focusing on our sewer
systems. Over the past 3 years, we have made significant
progress, through our partnership with the Cuyahoga
County Department of Public Works. We have spent millions
of dollars to locate and help alleviate troublesome
areas within the city.
The West Creek Metroparks $15 Million Dollar project
including the new Watershed Center continues to proceed
and hopes to open in 2012. Also, the construction
of the new library along with renovations to the Snow
Road library will begin in the spring of 2012.
As we all know, the VA Hospital will be opening their
new state of the art facility on Brookpark Road next
year. I am very proud of the other major development
projects within the city including the Polish and Ukrainian
Villages, the new Third Federal Savings on Ridge Road,
the future Wireman’s Credit Union on State Road, Health
Aid of Ohio, the West Creek and Cleveland Metropark’s
Watershed Education Center plus several storefront
renovations and walkability/streetscape projects.
I am also proud to say we continue to strengthen our
partnerships with corporate leaders such as Cuyahoga
Community College, General Motors, Parma Community
General Hospital and Graftech.
I have been elected by the citizens of Parma for the
past 17 years; almost four as Ward 4 Councilman, five
as State Representative and eight as your Mayor. It
has been the greatest honor to serve as your Mayor.
I have always worked hard to keep our City a great
all American community! I have also strived to make
sound decisions for the good of the community. This
administration has served you with integrity while
dealing with challenges during the difficult economic
times. We have worked to make you proud to call Parma
your home.
I plan to stay in this community, my home, for a long
time. I look forward to working with the public and
private sectors to improve quality of life for all
Parma residents. I also look forward to continuing
to serve this great city in many different ways.
Finally, I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

who passed away on
Friday following a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer. Read the News Release Read the Obituary
